Operation CHARM: Car repair manuals for everyone.

Service Prior to Assembly

^ Dirt will cause premature wear of the rebuilt engine. Clean all the components.
^ Use the proper tools to measure the components when checking for excessive wear. Components not within the manufacturer's specification must be repaired or replaced.
^ When the components are re-installed into an engine, return the components to the original location, position, and direction.
^ During assembly, lubricate all the moving parts with clean engine oil (unless otherwise specified). The engine oil will provide the initial lubrication when the engine is first started.
